For me, this was the reason to get into ES style guitars, as the 335 had never felt comfortable, was a little dark, and I struggled with feedback when playing those. A tad bigger than a Les Paul, it is considerably smaller than an ES335, and has a solid maple block down the middle of the guitar. The ES339’s distinguishing feature is it’s smaller body.
I’ve had it for a couple of weeks now, and I’ve ran it through the paces. I’ve only ever played this guitar through a Fender Blues Jr ltd edition with Jensen speaker and sparkle mod. I do have a bias towards Gibson guitars I have three, and I dig them, that’s no secret.
I use it as part of my guitar stable, along side a strat, gretsch, les paul, and a few acoustics. In the spirit of remaining transparent, please note that this guitar was bought on the fly, with no prior research, or preconcieved notion of the guitar. Ib.I've taken a pretty good review of the 339 from another forum for your info.
